No sound from front speakers
 
Hi all. Long story short, have bought a second hand RNS-D to replace mine, came from the same year car as mine and has same part nos etc, however when I put in the replacement unit to my car I cant get any sound from the front speakers, only from the rears, anybody any idea please?

Thanks

cheers

Sounds like a simple Bose mis-match. Either you have Bose and the donor car didnt, or vice versa...

Whether you have bose or not, the rear speakers are always amplified externally to the head unit, hence thats working.

For Bose though, the fronts are externally amplified too, and unless the head unit is setup right, then it will send the front output either to the line outs for Bose, or to the speaker outputs for non-bose.

Simple Vagcom job on the headunit to fix... +++

Thanks Ian, dont have Bose, so guessing the other car must have had it, dont have Vagcom either, but can wheel it down to local Independent for that, do you happen to know what needs changed please?

many thanks again

cheers

Hi Brian

If that came out of the Avus/purple FE on ebay then it'll have had BOSE for sure, as all FE's did I believe +++

Can't help on the coding front specifically, but sure a good indy will know where to go in the software to switch the headunit from BOSE to non-BOSE.

Brian,

If you're struggling, give me a shout and I'll see if we can meet up next week and I'll re-code it.

Huge thank you to Richard (PsYcHe) for attacking my unit with his Vagcom, I now have sound through the front, just need to swap over the faceplates as mine is in better shape, and find an updated CD, never straight forward is it!!

cheers again Richard

I've got a 2004 RNS D CD you can have for free if you like, just PM me your address. +++

No problem Brian.. Glad it's all working now. And that all-black setup looks even better in the flesh.
